Biography
Sylvester was born in 270 in Sant'Angelo a Scala, Avellino (in present-day Campania, southern Italy) to a family of Romans, and he was the son of Rufinus. In 314 he was elected Pope after the death of Pope Militiades, and Sylvester allegedly cured Emperor Constantine the Great of leprosy. Constantine and Sylvester had a great friendship, as Constantine was the papal groom one time, walking Sylvester's horse after retiring his imperial insignia. Sylvester died in 335.
